A closer look.

Explore the screens. Select an image to view it full size.

The homepage gives visitors a clear starting point: understand their estate and business planning gaps.
Estate, business, probate, and charitable planning share one visual and information hierarchy.
The firm story and attorney profile establish who visitors will work with.
The firm story explains the practice’s focus and its collaborative approach.
The about page carries the firm’s story into a specific attorney introduction.
Service pages connect each practice area to the concerns that bring someone to the firm.
Detailed practice content uses readable sections and photography rather than an undifferentiated list of services.
The consultation page places contact details, practice interests, and an initial message in one intake path.
The public form supplies the fields the team later reviews in its consultation inbox.
The article archive turns existing legal resources into a consistent browsing experience.
Article cards surface a topic, category, date, and short introduction before the reader opens a resource.
An article moves from a recognizable headline into a focused reading layout.
A separate assessment journey explains its purpose and the twelve-question commitment before it starts.
One question at a time keeps business-continuity and estate-planning topics manageable.
The contact step explains that the firm may follow up; the screenshot uses fictional demonstration details.
A locally seeded demonstration result shows the score, explanation, and next step without creating a submission.
The admin brings page editing, article publishing, and incoming submissions into one workspace.
A page directory links staff to the content sections defined for each public page.
The article collection exposes titles, slugs, dates, and publication states.
Publishing uses a purpose-built article schema with a rich-text body and separate publication controls.
Draft/published status, slug, and publication timing are separate from article composition.
Consultation submissions carry read state and follow-up status; every person shown is fictional.
A submission keeps the original message beside read-state and workflow controls, without editing the visitor’s answers.
Assessment responses are reviewed in their own incoming collection rather than mixed with general consultations.
The team can review contact information, score, and individual answers together.
The same admin workflow supports a dark theme without changing the underlying content model.
Staff can edit defined page sections alongside the public layout rather than navigating a generic page builder.
The mobile site retains the firm identity and assessment starting point.
The assessment keeps the question and answer choices readable at a phone viewport.

Paré Law homepage with estate-planning assessment and Boise firm identity

The homepage gives visitors a clear starting point: understand their estate and business planning gaps.

The rationale

Make the next step clear on both sides of the website.

Paré Law is a boutique Boise firm focused on estate planning, business planning, probate, and charitable planning. This project is a prototype exploring two related needs: helping a visitor understand where to begin, and giving the firm a practical way to maintain its content and review incoming inquiries. It has not launched as the firm’s production website.

The public experience carries those four practice areas through a consistent structure. The homepage establishes the firm’s local identity and introduces the planning assessment. Service explanations, the firm story, an attorney profile, and an article library give visitors more context before they make contact. Warm parchment colors, burgundy accents, serif typography, and Boise photography connect the pages visually without making every section compete for attention.

The assessment is a more specific starting point for business owners who may not know which planning questions to ask. Twelve questions cover business continuity, coordination between business and estate plans, personal estate planning, and wealth preservation. A single-question flow shows progress and leads to a contact step, then a score, an explanation, and a suggested next step. It is a self-assessment that supports an initial conversation, not a substitute for legal advice.

The admin is part of the product rather than an afterthought. I configured NextEditor around the firm’s actual content: four editable pages, a structured article collection, consultation submissions, and assessment submissions. Staff can edit defined page sections alongside the public layout. Article composition has dedicated title, category, image, excerpt, and rich-text fields, with publication controls kept separate from the writing surface.

Consultations and assessment responses have different contexts, so they have separate inboxes. Both carry read state and follow-up status. A consultation keeps the visitor’s contact details, practice interest, and message together. An assessment retains the score and individual answers, giving the team something concrete to review before a follow-up. The incoming answers remain distinct from the admin controls used to manage the response.

The implementation uses Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, with the firm-specific editing schemas defined in the application. Nineteen existing legal resources are represented in the article content import. The aim is a coherent website and operational workspace that can evolve together, with less friction between updating content, receiving an inquiry, and understanding what someone needs.

These screenshots show the prototype running locally, including the real public components and NextEditor admin interface. All admin identities, consultation messages, and assessment submissions shown are fictional demonstration data; the example result was rendered locally without submitting a form. The firm’s public domain shows its existing website, separate from this prototype. No conversion or client-outcome improvements are being claimed.
